“I have given this film a high rating for several reasons. Itu0026#39;s not perfect but ADMIRABLE. First and foremost, for the BRAVERY of Hallmark to take on such a film with a diverse cast. I had a strong feeling that the audience would reject it under the guise of the comparison between other more well known versions of this film. Hallmark remakes most well made feature films and their themes. And those feature length films have the luxury of time, i.e., 2 hours and 16 minutes of the Ang Lee version, which Hallmark only has 1 hour and 26 minutes to complete the story in. If you keep an open mind and watch this with fresh eyes, you might just enjoy a fresh take by Hallmark.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe other reason for the high rating is that the acting was wonderful for Hallmark. Hallmark proved that we do live in a world where anything is possible.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI do think they built the romance in a slow yet deliberate manner which the actors did justice to.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI think Jane Austen would have appreciated this adaptation, given its time constraints, that opened her world to diverse actors at this time in history, just as she opened the world to women authors in her era.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy fellow Hallmarkees, please give this a chance…and donu0026#39;t compare…just enjoy! Those of you who have rated it harshly, watch again without the comparison.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI really wasnu0026#39;t expecting to love it. Iu0026#39;ve seen nearly ALL of the Hallmark movies ever made. I did love and enjoy this film, as did my husband, usually a harsh critic.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThank you Hallmark for taking a risk. Well done!”
